San Antonio, TX? If that's it, it would just depend on what you're looking for. San Antonio's probably only 1,000 ft. above sea level so there's no real mountains. Enchanted Rock is within 80-100 miles if you were looking for rock climbing. Otherwise you've got the Hill Country all around you, which would have lots of great hikes. You've got to get out to West Texas before you find anything in the 5,000-8,000 ft range.

Austin has the Greenbelt and there's also Reimers Ranch but I don't know if they're still open. Some good climbing areas on private propoerty in Texas have been closed due to libaility in our litigous society.

Also, for the record, closures due to landowner's fear of liability are just that, fear. There are very few instances of landowners being successfully sued for people getting injured on their property, particularly when they're engaging in an activity viewed as risky as rock climbing. Unless you've planted land mines and neglected to inform anybody of that, you're probably OK.
